VTI's VXI modules enable customization of ATE systems
-- Test & Measurement World, 6/1/2009 9:00:00 AM
Three modules join the SMIP series of signal switch modules from VTI Instruments, offering engineers more choices for creating their ATE systems. The new modules allow test system designers to add custom development options on a COTS platform, as well as high-density digital-to-analog converters suitable for testing avionics subassemblies.
The latest SMIP members include: the SMP3620, a 24-channel, 16-bit DAC module that provides programmable outputs from 0 to 36 VDC; the SMP3625, a 16-channel, 16-bit DAC module with 70-V pk-pk, 400-Hz analog output; and the SMP7000, a prototyping breadboard with 96 digital I/O lines.
The SMIP series lets you mix and match modules in either a single-slot or double-slot base unit to meet application-specific requirements. For example, scanners, multiplexers, power switches, general-purpose switches, and RF modules can all be housed in a double-slot VXIbus carrier. A 1x768 one-wire multiplexer can also be accommodated in a double-slot VXIbus carrier. All switch modules are removable from the front panel.
